Twenty-one and over?
Should the age of driving be raised to twenty one?
Do you think the drinking age should be lowered to 16? Do you think that a 16 year old would be responsible with alcohol?
Yes or No
Teens have the highest rate of traffic accidents when compared to any other group.
Teen drivers have the highest accident rate of any age group. Also their brains are not fully developed. The age should be raised to 21. Teens are more likely to engage in dangerous behavior and even worse they are less likely to adjust this behavior. Traffic accidents are the number one killer of teens.
Costs the government vast amounts of money each year.
Every year the government spends vast amounts of money on young people related driving accident. If new drivers faced a curfew between 5 am and 10 pm unless an over 30 year old was in the car and increase the driving age to 21 then it would save the government £224 million every year and cut the number of casualties by 4,471.
Today's teens are very energetic , arrogant. They drive very fast and carelessly which may lead to accidents.
In India , the local people especially the teenagers drive very fast and in a furious way . They don't even wear helmets . Many people travel on a single bike or scooty which is very dangerous . Also , the people have stopped walking . They always use vehicles and cause damage to their body
Teens will want to party
At the age of 17 kids are now prone to partying because they will have a car giving them freedom to go out to party. Also you need to consider that the legal drinking age is 18 and without a doubt they will be drinking at these parties. With an intoxicated 17 year old behind the wheel they are novice to driving so they will not have the experience to know what to do behind the wheel but on the other hand a 21 year old will be more experienced and more mature to know how to handle a vehicle while being intoxicated.
Its not safe for the communities
They aren't mature enough
less pollution
less congestion
teens get restless when waiting to drive so when they finally drive they can get reckless making it unsafe for other drivers and pedestrians. Overall the younger they are the more dangerous it is for the community
